L’Estanquet, a 4-star camping club campsite in La Palmyre
In the heart of the Les Mathes Forest, just a stone’s throw from the famous tourist attractions in La Palmyre, including Luna Park theme park and the La Palmyre zoo, the L’Estanquet campsite is located. A member of the Sandaya group, this high-end establishment, features a lovely water park, whilst offering excellent holiday resort conditions for holidaymakers. There is certainly plenty to appeal to holidaymakers!
A La Palmyre campsite with high-end mobile homes
Nestling within the wooded surroundings of the Les Mathes Forest, in Charente Maritime and close to the Atlantic coast, the L’Estanquet campsite offers holidaymakers coming to stay here, quality services as well as varied facilities and a multitude of accommodation solutions. Just a stone’s throw from the town centre of La Palmyre, this establishment occupies a campsite of around 10 hectares, and several kilometres of Atlantic coast beaches.
L’Estanquet has adapted to the ever more varied demands of holidaymakers, by making a wide choice of pitches and holiday rentals available to them. Plots intended to accommodate traditional campers extend over a surface area of between 80 and 140 m², can accommodate up to a maximum of 6 persons, and are equipped with an electrical connection.
Some of these plots are equipped with a small kitchen having a fridge, microwave oven and sink, shower room with a shower and separate WC. Certainly plenty here to spend an excellent outdoor holiday.
Holiday rentals are divided into multiple ranges, going from a basic chalet to the most high-end mobile home. This comes in two luxury ranges with 2 and 3 bedrooms. Modern, these mobile homes have a semi-covered terrace with plancha, garden furniture set and sunloungers. Inside, holidaymakers can take advantage of an equipped kitchen, a master suite, 1 or 2 other bedrooms, a bathroom and a television.
A dream holiday as a family on the La Palmyre campsite
On-site, holidaymakers are guaranteed to want for nothing. The campsite brings together an entire range of shops and services, from the grocery to the bakery, including the restaurant and launderette. Moreover, if that’s not enough, holidaymakers can also make the most of the services offered by the neighbouring campsite and member of the same group, Les Mathes.
A leading attraction of this campsite, the water park consists of a large outdoor swimming pool of 500 m², water slides and a paddling pool. The last one enables the very young to have fun in a pool more adapted to their shape. Sunloungers are available around the large swimming pool to make the most of the sunshine. It is worth noting that the long beaches of the Charente coast are within the vicinity of the campsite, for example the the closest being barely 4 kilometres away.
And should the beach or the water park not be enough to be the height of delight for children and teenagers, they can join one of the 3 mini-clubs on the campsite. Managed by staff with contagious good humour, thanks to these clubs they can participate in activities, each more fun than the others, such as orienteering races, tournaments, creative workshops, evenings for the young or shows.
Charente Maritime, a leading tourist destination
For the older amongst you, the multi-sports ground, beginners’ archery lessons, or muscle strengthening in the swimming pool and ping-pong tables are all the more reason to have fun, without having to leave the campsite. Come evening, themed nights enable you to extend the delight in good humour, over a drink on the bar terrace.
The surrounding areas lend themselves to numerous trips out and discoveries. The Phare de la Courbe lighthouse, with its stairs with 300 steps to reach the summit, is for example a few kilometres from here. From the lighthouse, unrestricted views over the Bonne Anse bay, the Gironde estuary and the Ile d’Oléron island are on offer to those curious to see. Amongst other major tourist attractions situated in the area surrounding La Palmyre, is Fort Boyard fort, the Ile d’Aix and the Ile de Ré islands, or even the Roche Courbon castle, the largest castle in the Charente Maritime. Its magnificent gardens are classified, along with the castle itself, as one of the “monuments historiques” (historic monuments).
Lastly, a further must-see location to visit is the famous Zoo de La Palmyre, which with its 1,600 mammals, birds and reptiles, is one of the largest zoological gardens in France. Please note that it is possible to buy tickets for admission to the zoo from the campsite reception!
